Brandin Cooks
Deandre Hopkins
Amare Cooper



Cooks had had some tough CB match ups the past 2 weeks, not incredibly worried there.

Hopkins is too talented to not remain a part of the gameplan......right?

Cooper I'm starting to legit worry about.

Wouldn't worry about the other 2 but Cooper has me kinda worried. Crabtree gets all the TDs.

Look at Coopers numbers and add a TD. You'd take that all day. He just needs to find the endzone

Hopkins had 60 targets through 4 weeks last season. He has 33 this season #regression

Cooks - may become a stream play in the Dome, as he's tied to Brees' road game #regression

Cooper - on his way to a solid season but doesnt look like he will crack WR1 territory at this rate - had high hopes for him

Hopkins is the one that would worry me the most. Running offense with a bad quarterback. Crabtree is going to start getting more attention. I think Cooper will turn it around. Still a little too early to call on any of these guys. We know all 3 of them have talent, but Hopkins scheme and quarterback would worry me

Hasn't Cooper had multiple TDs called back this season?

I'm just trying to be optimistic and keep him in my lineup, though have been debating benching him for Jordan Matthews or Mike Wallace.

A play where Cooper runs out of bounds and then back in bounds and catches a TD isn't your typical called back TD where a WR beats a guy but an illegal formation brings it back. Crab is the guy to own in OAK.

Cooper had 72 for 1070 and 6 with Crab doing that a year ago. There are enough targets to go around, it's a matter of time before Cooper starts eating. He's an explosive player while Crabtree is more reliable. You can look at the yards per reception a year ago and deduct that Crabtree is running higher percentage routes than Cooper. Carr is a smart player, he's going to throw it to the open guy. I'd just lean on the side of patience with Cooper and Cooks. The saints need Snead back healthy but the emergence of Thomas in the meantime is only going to help all of them

Top 15 last year and the rankings come out this year and he's like 35. Lotta groupthink going on with those Predraft rankings.

boom what if i told u michael thomas was the best WR in NOLA?


RE: cooper still top 20 in yards, rec, and targets heading into this week. he allows crabby a little more room to roam, teams been sleeping on crabby. might see a little more attention from the D going forward - will be interesting to see how the elite CBs handle OAK WRs ROS

Thomas won't be as relevant with a 100% Snead.

Crabtree draws the opposition #1 corner on occasion. He had more targets than cooper last year too iirc as the "#2" option. I thought they'd be neck and neck at seasons end coming into the season(still
Do) but the difference in ADP made Crabtree the guy I wanted.
